National Statistics Code of Practice and Protocols
The Statistics and Registration Act 2007 required the UK Statistics
Authority to publish a Code of Practice for Statistics. Only those
statistics assessed as compliant with the Code will be designated as
National Statistics. The Code can be accessed via the following link
to the UK Statistics Authority:
http://www.statisticsauthority.gov.uk/assessment/code-of-practice/index.html
The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills has put in place
the arrangements necessary to implement the Code of Practice for
Official Statistics. We have produced a Statement of Compliance with
the Code for Practice for Official Statistics, which is also now
available in either
PDF format or in HTML.
This general statement refers to a suite of additional statements
arising from the Code of Practice. These too are accessible
separately either in
PDF format or in
HTML.
In line with Protocol 2 of the Code of Practice, BIS has published a
compliance statement describing how it will meet the requirements of
the Pre-release Access Order to Official Statistics 2008. This
includes a list of recipients of pre-release access to National
Statistics produced by BIS. This statement is available in either
PDF format or
HTML.
BIS has also published a Statement of Administrative Sources, in
line with Protocol 3 of the Code of Practice. This is also available
in either
PDF format or
HTML. |
